So would you rather they get birthed and die
Or gut them early on so they don't have to suffer?

2018-07-19 16:55:29 UTC  

But it isn't redundant when you are willing to waste all resources needed to keep them alive

2018-07-19 16:55:30 UTC  

So under the natural selection argument, abortion is nonsensical, since you're reducing the number of potential offspring

2018-07-19 16:55:55 UTC  

You are reducing weak offspring

2018-07-19 16:56:02 UTC  

They'd be reduced anyway

2018-07-19 16:56:09 UTC  

and it would be free

2018-07-19 16:56:13 UTC  

And abortion is used on non weak offspring

2018-07-19 16:56:17 UTC  

Abortions aren't free

2018-07-19 16:56:21 UTC  

Starvation is

2018-07-19 16:56:22 UTC  

Under natural selection yes. Nowadays, no

2018-07-19 16:56:29 UTC  

i was talking about starvation

2018-07-19 16:56:38 UTC  

Right so we shouldn't adhere to natural selection, yes?

2018-07-19 16:57:04 UTC  

to an extent, i think we should

2018-07-19 16:57:19 UTC  

You can't artificially induce natural selection by definition

2018-07-19 16:57:27 UTC  

sure i can

2018-07-19 16:57:28 UTC  

if natural selection is let idiots who don't wear helmets on motorcycles die, then yes.

2018-07-19 16:57:35 UTC  

You can, but you wouldnt

2018-07-19 16:57:37 UTC  

Go full sparta and throw disabled babies off a cliff.

2018-07-19 16:57:56 UTC  

No, it's not natural if you do it artificially

2018-07-19 16:57:56 UTC  

I mean, natural selection would also imply no medicine etc

2018-07-19 16:58:07 UTC  

Not necessarily

2018-07-19 16:58:07 UTC  

You can do it naturally too

2018-07-19 16:58:20 UTC  

You can *only* have natural selection naturally

2018-07-19 16:58:34 UTC  

You can have it naturally if you want

2018-07-19 16:58:34 UTC  

curing cancer by chemo isn't natural

Hence i can't fully support natural selection

2018-07-19 16:58:37 UTC  

Animals abandoning babies. Is that natural or no?

2018-07-19 16:58:39 UTC  

Remove the safety nets

2018-07-19 16:58:44 UTC  

depends on the animal really

2018-07-19 16:58:45 UTC  

medicine spits in the fact of natural selection, outside of eating things that have medicinal properties

2018-07-19 16:58:57 UTC  

Are we going anprim in here?

2018-07-19 16:59:05 UTC  

anprim?

2018-07-19 16:59:19 UTC  

Anarcho primitive

2018-07-19 16:59:25 UTC  

Nope

2018-07-19 16:59:27 UTC  

dafuq is that? 😛

2018-07-19 16:59:30 UTC  

Lol

2018-07-19 16:59:33 UTC  

You are the one taking it there

2018-07-19 16:59:38 UTC  

Enforced caveman existence

2018-07-19 16:59:41 UTC  

depends how much you view "fucking with your body with artificially created medicines" as still being natural selection

2018-07-19 16:59:48 UTC  

No, I wasn't the one saying we should stop using medicine

2018-07-19 16:59:55 UTC  

"Natural selection can only be done naturally" paraphrasing

2018-07-19 17:00:00 UTC  

Yes
